🌟 Middle School/High School Staff Spotlight: Melinda Barber 🌟
Melinda is in her 6th year at Westville, serving as an English Teacher and Cheer Coach—and pouring her heart into the same community that helped shape who she is today. Every connection she makes here feels special, where every face is familiar, and every success is shared. 💛
Melinda lives right here in her hometown with her husband and their three kids. Together, they serve the community in many ways—through their church, coaching youth, and staying involved in local activities. She also teaches at DDC, our local dance studio, and helps lead organizations at school, such as FCA and SWARM. Her life is deeply rooted in giving back and lifting others up.
The best career advice she’s ever received is twofold: Build meaningful connections—because students work harder for someone they respect and trust—and do everything as if you’re doing it for the Lord, a reminder that her purpose is greater than any single task.
🌟 Elementary Staff Spotlight: Linda Pruitt 🌟
Linda serves as an RTI Teacher Aide and is in her second year in this role—after previously teaching here for 13 years. Her favorite part of the job is working with young students and watching their reading skills grow, making every day rewarding and full of purpose. A proud WHS graduate, Linda has 3 children, 9 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren, and returned to Westville after retirement because she “got bored” and wanted to keep helping students. 💛
The best career advice she’s ever received is to never say you’ll “never” do something—because that may end up becoming your calling, just like teaching became hers. Fun fact: She’s been married to the same wonderful man for almost 52 years! 💜

🌟 High School/Middle School Staff Spotlight: Cindy Alexander🌟
Cindy has been a dedicated part of Westville Schools for 20 years—10 of those in her current role as our FCS Teacher and FCCLA Advisor! Her favorite part of the job is watching students experience those unforgettable “ah-ha” moments in the classroom. She loves hearing the excitement in their voices when they master a new skill. As an FCCLA Advisor, she proudly supports students as they step out of their comfort zones and present their projects at local, district, regional, state, and even national levels. 💛
Married to the love of her life for 27 years, Cindy is a proud mom to four amazing adult children and two wonderful sons-in-law. Her family is growing too—she’ll become a first-time grandma in April! Outside of school, she enjoys crafting, singing, dancing, and embracing the silly side of life whenever she gets the chance. 💜
The best career advice she’s ever received—and now shares with others—is to stay true to yourself and follow your dreams. She believes wholeheartedly that you can overcome anything life throws your way. “If you love your job, you’ll never work a day in your life,” she says, and she truly LOVES her job!
Fun fact: Her name is actually Cindy Lou… yes, like Cindy Lou Who! 🎄✨ and she is OBSESSED with it!
🌟 Elementart Staff Spotlight: Holly Green 🌟
Now in her 3rd year at Westville, our wonderful kindergarten teacher brings joy, patience, and heart to her classroom every single day. Her favorite part of teaching is watching her students grow—those moments when everything clicks, and their confidence begins to shine. She cherishes the special connections she builds with her students that make each day meaningful and full of purpose. 💛
Outside the classroom, she has plenty to celebrate! She recently married her husband, Kevin, this past October. Together, they enjoy life with their two cats and one dog, and they love heading to car shows—checking out incredible builds and proudly showing off their own cars. (Fun fact: her car is half pink!) 🚗💗
Teaching has been her dream since she was a little girl, and now she’s living that dream every day in the classroom. The best career advice she’s ever received is simple but powerful: “Leave it in God’s hands.” It’s a mindset that guides her through challenges and keeps her grounded with gratitude.
We’re so thankful for Cindy and Holly’s hearts, dedication, and the joy they bring to Westville every single day! 💜
